My point was, because we do dddiiiccc we have to show the state in the
package -- if we just show a percentage bar then it'll just get to 100%,
sit there a few minutes, and go back to zero and then 100% again. We
know what it's doing, but I'm sure the users wont.

Installed version is indeed better.

It's the vendor bugzilla. I'm thinking of adding this to the update
text, and removing this from here, something like:

For more information about this update please visit:
* Bugfix release for gtkhtml

With the "Bugfix release for gtkhtml" a hyperlink to the bugzilla bug.

And also do the same for CVE links:
